RIP....I spent about 3 hours with him when he came here recruiting Trey Smith. Very nice...and he was country as they come. And a damn good football coach.

Fulmer buys himself five years if he had hired him instead of Clawson imo. Wasn’t dynamic but was more balanced than Chaney and could make adjustments. Remain convinced he wanted to install an offset I package utilizing both Hurd and Kamara and that Butch reneged. Hence his “retirement”. RIP to the under appreciated.

He was extremely underrated during his time here. RIP

Absolutely. Everyone screamed when Butch hired him but he did a great job here I thought. It was the idiot on the sideline that screwed things up.

Rest in peace, Coach DeBord. Good coach, and according to everything I ever saw or read, a very good man who led a good life. Praying for his family.

I liked DeBord. RIP

 

[Hacksaw]

Not the most popular hire, but endeared himself and earned the respect of Vol Nation while he was here. RIP.

 

[SpookyAction]

I'm glad to be reminded other people thought he was a really good OC for us. He sounded like a real football coach when he was quoted or speaking.

 

[SamuraiVol74]

RIP CMB. He was a really good OC for Tennessee that never seemed to get his just deserves.
